     My prior experience with Twitter is nothing like how I am using it for this class. I have never had a social media site that is just for professional or networking purposes. I am enjoying seeing real content from organizations instead of adds or clutter on my main feed. I am also able to read new findings or information from credible sources in an informal setting. This twitter will fit in very well with the LinkedIn I made for the next assignment.

     I am so excited that I learned how to embed a calendar and the creative commons. This makes my website look more official and adult. It has taken me a while to get used to the WIX editing site, and there were many times that I got frustrated with the tasks or edits. Next time, I would make sure every page has the same background and banners that are consistent. This template could be used as my official website in the fall.

     Assistive and adaptive technologies support learners by adjusting the learning experience to include their specific needs. I think it is very important that at a young age, students are able to obtain a sense of educational independence even if their form is different than others. No student is the same, and all teachers need to be educated and confident in their ability to adapt the lesson to all types of learners. In the arts, it is a bit easier because it is more subjective work and there is no wrong answer. It is also very hands on and movement based so students are able to use all of the different types of learning techniques. I also think the biggest shift currently is in wording and education. Instead of "disability" it is "accessibility" when I am talking about wheelchair seating. Also, we say learning challenges and differences instead of working with negative connotation like difficulties or disabilities. We must encourage all students that with the right help and tools, they are capable of learning like everyone else.

    Hannah, I really really like the set up of your website! In terms of CRAP, I think you hit the nail on the head! Your contrast was really well done with using a white background and then using darker colors for the text. I especially liked the pops of color that you added for some of the headings. The repetition of your font was very thorough. You also used similar repetition in the images for the headings. Even though they were all different pictures, the colors and themes were spot on! I really liked the centered alignment of your page! This made it feel very clean and organized. In the way of proximity, I thought that our page was very well organized and broken up. There were not large blocks of text and it made finding a certain section very easy.
    Overall, the design of your website was really visually pleasing! It looked very professional (especially with the addition of your resume!) and I would definitely want to be in your class. And I would also feel confident as a parent that you know what you are doing!

    I really like the colors contrasting on the front page of the website. As soon as you come in the front page stands out with all the different bright and darker colors that are shining. There's the bright red that stands out well and then the yellow color that also stands out from the dark grey and darker blue colors. The alignment of everything is extremely well thought out. Everything of importance is centered on the page for you to see. Nothing getting in the way of anything else and each page has the same uniform alignment more or less which looks good too. The repetition of the colors and the fonts and the headings on each page really make the website. The nice font blue and yellow headings for each little section really make them stand out and make me want to pay attention to that section. The proximity of everything is done well. There is not too much wording going on on the page at one time but there's also not too much blank white space as well. Overall the website looks extremely professional. Like it was actually done by a professional. I love all the different colors and headings and fonts used throughout the website.

To be completely honest, I am not a fan of Diigo. I do not think it is aesthetically pleasing or easy to understand. Also, I am not a fan of how it dictates my googling 24/7. It is a good place to keep things, however, it does not cite the sources we find. If they had an MLA citation tool or something of that nature, I would use it religiously. I do a lot of research papers in my theater classes, and having to keep up with sources is extremely tedious. I do not want to have my sources in many different places (Diigo, RefWorks, etc). I wish there was one concise tool to use. With blogging, I have had to do it for a few classes, and I find it interesting for specific purposes. For my personal life, however, I do not like it because I would rather write it down in a journal and not put my thoughts or deep secrets onto the internet. I also have a problem with remembering to blog or journal, so consistency is key. I find that physically writing it out helps me remember to do it instead of...

In the School of Theater at FSU, I was originally on a Stage Management track. This meant I was in charge of the organization of paperwork, rehearsals, and the show. I have been using Microsoft Word, Google Doc, and Pages for many years because of this. I would have to send daily schedules, calendars, and reports. All of the SM students had relatively the same paperwork, however, we would change the design layout to make it our own. MS Word is actually my least favorite program because I tend to ask it to do things that it does not like and I end up having to re-do the entire paper. Pages is a lot easier for me to navigate and google docs is easier for group editing. A huge part of working in theater is getting the rights to plays or musicals. There are a few companies that handle the rights to all of the shows, and we have to pay them to access certain things for the show. There are scripts, music scores, logos. Some go even farther and make you pay for specific dance moves or costu...

     While on the FSUS website, I noticed a stark difference between the elementary teachers' websites and the high school theaters' websites. For younger kids, there is a lot more color and child based images. On the upper level websites, there is either no information or just the syllabus and an email address for the teacher. This is because the parents are more likely to look at the elementary websites than the high school ones. As an arts teacher, I want to incorporate more color and excitement into my website while still providing all of the information relevant to my class.      I am actually very proud of my website I created for this class and another class last semester. I am glad I was able to revise my original website because now I feel like there is more efficient material and information on it for people to access. I originally just had the syllabus and my resume on the website but now there is so much more like calendars and announce...
